H. Scout Thank You for the driver video. After 40 years of slicing, watching numerous videos and reading instructions in magazines, your 10 minute video changed my game from frustration to excitement. I gained 30 yards on my drive and I’m hitting many more fairways. Your short game instructions are also very helpful, your teaching method is entertaining and the instructions clearly presented and easy to understand.

Bro!!!!!! Today i went out and killed it with my driver. Hit all but two fairways and I crushed my drives. Thanks bro keep up the good work.

This is by far, the BEST driver tutorial.

After 20 years of playing, some private lessons and a lots of practice buckets, your left wrist "turning the screw" was what was missing in my swing. A BIG thank you!

What a superb tutorial on the driver. I must have watched a thousand driver videos and never got it. You’ve narrowed the hundred elements i have seen that are supposed to magically come together in your head into just a couple of things to do. I cannot wait to try this out. Thank you so much!

"shoulder to toe, hand to ear", this is really helpful to make a correct swing plane.

Wow! Killed it today, Narrowed my stance, set the driver a little closer and only missed 2 fairways and they were just off the fairway by a foot or two. Excellent tips. Thanks

I’ve been a surf instructor in Waikiki since 98’. Trying to teach the basics and keeping it simple so students get some good long rides. I’m a great instructor an even better surfer. But me and all my friends love golf. I’m. Not good, I shoot 90s and 80s. Still learning. I watched a ton of golf videos. They just messed everything up. But I really enjoy your videos! You are a good instructor. Keep it simple and the material relatable. Love it! 👍🤙🏼

After having taken lessons, watched numerous videos, this video finally made it click for me. The head cover, distance from the body and hands at ears in particular helped. I can now hit my driver and drive the ball around 270 yards.

Amazing tutorial, this all is so easy to follow and broken down to simplify it! So many videos complicate it to a degree you cannot follow. I’m consistently over 300 yards now because of this video, awesome!!👍

That take away tip very helpful. Still think your single best when it comes to full swing/driver is "release at target and not at the ball" in another vid. Heard it many times, of course, but not seen demonstrated in quite that way! Well done.

Thank you for this video, seriously. Two days ago I saw comments of people saying they hit more fairways than ever before after these tips and thought they may have been bots promoting the video. Fast forward to today, I played a round over the weekend and got more fairways like others have said. Turning the screw was like a lightbulb in my head and my downswing felt much more natural. My single-digit handicap buddy was only hitting it 10-20 yards farther than me from the fairway, whereas I would usually be hitting from some deep rough on the right. MrShortGame has the goods for the whole course!

Not sure if you'll read this BUT. Despise the lads lads lads TOV of the channel, I've been attracted by the simplicity of the way you look at golf and swing, this resonates with me since I don't have 10 sesh a week to refine every detail of my game and create one perfect swing and associated "swing thought" for each club and shot. Anyways, I took this class up the range today and applied it, cos it made sense, and could FINALLY deliver consistency to this b... Of a club. It was a miracle. A true f... Miracle. I now have a draw shape, feel comfortable at address and can enjoy driver. Thank you, you've REALLY made a happy golfer. And won a follower.

Love the "turn the screw" motion.

Great video. Your insight on how to describe something is very refreshing. Hands to ear is something everyone can relate to and visualize. Some of the instructors get too technical instead of explaining it in a way regular folks can understand. The way you explain it lets people use their natural athleticism and not get too bogged down with swing mechanics/thoughts. As others said many times before KISS, keep it simple stupid. LOL

Love how you get to the point about the things in the swing most instructors dont want to tell you right away because they milk you for $$$. I went to 10 lessons at Golftec, good lessons. But no one would ever explain the wrists in transition in a simplified way. I learned on KZfaq myself after searching and searching. Wish you would have been around 5 years ago....keep up the good work!!

Tried these tips yesterday at the range and hit my driver longer and straighter than I have all year. Now I just need to practice and make these changes permanent. Thanks Matt!!!

The fanning takeaway fix is perhaps the most effective for accuracy. My swing is kind of short, so take away matters more to me than most other golfers

Wow. I did not turn the screw with my wrist but I did the rest today. Normally I drive it 180-190. Lots of spin, no roll. Shoulder over toe, hands by ear. I hit 11 drives over 200 ( 2 were 197) three over 220 with a long of 225!! Calm day. So excited to keep working on this!!! Amazing.

“Turn the screw” it’s like “sand the floor” or “paint the fence” from karate kid. Very good tutorial. Helpful keep up the good work

Mr. Short game. My best round was probably 105, struggled a lot until you. Now my net will be here this week. Taking my lap top in the yard by hitting mat. Oh yeah, I shot with 92 with 3 puts that lipped out. Mostly from learning how to hit my irons better. Still having distance with my irons. I expect that to get better soon. Thanks man, your the best.

Glad I found you. The left wrist turn the screw is crucial. Started to apply it about a week before watching this video. Didn't have a visual grasp of turn the screw but same exact concept. Man it works great! It's like Hogans secret. Thanks.

This should be compulsory viewing for all slicers. I have watched lots of instructional golf videos and this guy is undoubtedly the best teacher. Wonderful combination of enthusiasm and clarity. And he hits lots of shots to show that he can practice what he preaches! I would only add one thing that is worth trying (on the range, initially) if you are still have problems with the occasional wild slice: put the ball in the middle of your stance. Yes, middle. If you have the club face open at the very bottom of your swing it will be even worse by the time you get to the ball.

Tried this today, and was blown away! Pounded my drives like never before! And with a nice fade !! Started losing the ball right later on, but its only first time!! Love your vids!!

These videos are great, but private lessons give you the immediate feedback that we need. I've taken from these videos, but until I took some lessons again, is when everything came into fruition. I'm 67 years old next week and I'm out driving the 40 year old kiddos. My instructor got me hitting a draw with 230 yards of carry, and I'm crushing my irons.😜😛😁

That lesson was the best lesson I ever had! Bravo! Love the Ben Hogan Golf video lessons also! You’re awesome! ! Thank you! 😍👏👏👏👏

my name is joe i am 80 years old i have never been able to hit my driver until now an my short game is getting better since i starting you i just want to say thanks an keep up the videos i love them ,

Definitely a big part of the game i struggle in. The should/toe and hand/ear tip makes so much sense and turning of the screw makes it seem so much more simple. Your tips give you fewer things to think about when on the tee box. Learned more in this short video than watching all of the 20-30 min long videos. Thanks!

I, for one, am happy he did a segment on the driver. Mr. Short Game does such a good job of explaining how to "feel" the correct motion and practice with these drills helps me to internalize that feeling. thank you!

Just getting into golf. Your channel is the best to learn from.

This completely saved my game!! I had a massive pull hook after picking up a Taylor Made SLDR driver... Tried everything and couldn't fix it. Followed your techniques and it absolutely helped! Had to make 1 minor adjustment and that was standing about a clubhead and a half away from the ball. Scored my best round this past weekend by hitting solid drives! Thanks for the awesome advice!

It’s not easy to suggest that a conscientious golfer take notes but it’s necessary. Writing like the golf swing is a meditative art form. The best way to associate life’s experiences is to quiet one’s mind to excite the imagination! It produces leadership. It internalizes a wealth of information to a personal perspective. Today’s immensely talented young people are being overwhelmed by too much information. Right now the young are just trying to stay on the bull! Thanks

Thanks this turning the screw has helped me a ton with my other clubs, but not my Driver. I still use all of the other tips to help me hit my driver. I am hitting driver better with the other tips.

This has been great for me as a beginner. Felt quite awkward to do during my first few hits at the range but getting more and more comfortable every time. Front shoulder to back toe, hands to ear and turning the screw has helped me tremendously. Can hit some bombs when done correctly. Hit a 284 yard PB straight down the pipe and the feedback through my Driver was awesome. “Grip it and rip it” Appreciate the help!

That last tip is magic!!!! I have a tendency to confuse that move with just moving my left thumb straight right which keeps the club face open wide instead of turning it down you make have solved the mystery as to why I’ve been so inconsistent from day to day. That’s what I need to feel. Nice channel quick and to the point videos!

All these components are wonderful. A major take away for me is keeping that trunk to stay put, no swaying, allow body to rotate naturally and let that lead. Every since I implemented it, success!

Matt, I like how you use "front" and "back" instead of left and right. As a lefty golfer it's frustrating when most instructors (who are rightys) use left and right and I have to change it in my head to the opposite. It's easier to comprehend when it's front and back. New subscriber; love the channel.

Great video. It makes sense and you show and explain everything. I am a leftie and in my seventies and can do everything but TURN THE SCREW as I use the Moe Norman, single plane method. By not turning my wrists I find I hit the ball straighter but am definitely going to try your steps. Thanks again

dude,thats a great help,i have been struggling with the 1 driver but that vid helped me out no end,thx

This is the best driver video I have seen. Thank you much.

Matt. I went to the range and used this method. I have been really struggling with my driver. To say it has been ugly is giving way too much credit to ugly! Anyway, it took me about 30 minutes to get this process down and feel the different feel. At first, I didn't want to trust the feel in my hands and arms because it was much different than my ugly swing. However, once I got in the right position and "turned the screw", the ball took flight! I was crushing the ball with about 1/2 the effort as before. Previously my swing was too much upright vs rotational and my stance was way too wide. I will keep working on this but thanks for the video!

Been having lessons at a High tech facility. you're absolutely spot on. I need to work on my "screw" action and fire my hips round so i don't end up pushing the ball to the right. Great instruction sir.

Great Video! Can you go into this "turn the screw" thing more in detail next time?

Mr.SGG, your videos are the most fun and practical. I found this driver tutorial really helpful, as my downswing is inconsistent, and you seriously simplified it with 'toe to ear' then turning the screw...brilliant !!!! Thanx so much Sharief South Africa

i love the turning the screw tip....really simple and fun to listen to

Turn the screw tip is a great one. It made all the difference. Ray

Well done! I am one of those low back swings and...my big driver fault is over the top. I will work off of this video to see how I do. Thanks!

Best tutorial driver i've seen!!! keep doing such good tutorials, love you my hero! haha!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

i like how no nonsense his instruction is, and its not too gimmicky to clever. just easy to use info. thanks!

Watched half of this video and subscribed.... holy sh** you make it so much easier to understand these techniques. True teacher... Bell has been rung! Can't wait for the next video!

Watched your video. Narrow stance and hands to the ear! Awesomeness!!!

I love learning from people who have a genuine love for what they are teaching! Thank you!

Tnank you!!! I love the turn the screw cue. I was feeling that there was something missing at the transition into the downswing yesterday. This is it. I'm going to work in this tomorrow.

Can’t wait to try this tomorrow!

Wow, you have a way of explaining things better than anyone one else. Great video.

I have watched video after video after the last 6 months and nothing helped me. Then I found your videos and since watching your videos my game has all around improved. So, thank you very much for doing these to help us high handicappers out. Thanks!

Hopefully this helps to fix my wicked 30 yard slice!! Big fan of the videos, you make everything sound so simple and doable, will be putting this to practice at the range

Tried this "Turning the screw" at the range today. I found it very effective. Thanks for this tip. All the best.

Another good video! I drive the ball pretty straight most of the time and what helps me more than anything is not bailing out on the swing too early or rushing my rhythm. I call it trying to guide the ball.

When turning the screw is at top of backswing or beginning of downswing. I think the beginning of downswing. One of the most difficult swing ideas to learn is keeping the right elbow pointing down. You referred to centrifugal force when taking the backswing. It’s a leap of faith to believe that as we twist our bodies that weight transfer occurs. Thanks

The hands at the ear helped immensely! Love all your tips and the way you keep it “real”! Keep going!

Narrowing the stance and moving hands closer to the body wand ditching the low takeaway has made a world of difference. Haven't been able to feel like I am turning the screw without closing the club face. Thank you for these great visuals and effective point by point and then recap of of each of your points as you go to the next tip

Old lady with high handicap here. Very helpful! Headed to driving range now. Will let you know.

Excellent communication applied the concepts and hitting the ball much much better. My hands were too far away from my body and was too spread out... Now the ball is going down the middle. Good stuff!

Very helpful video and a great explanation of the technique. One thing I would like to ask .... What is your aim at? A spot behind the ball? The ball itself? In front of the ball? etc...

Great tutorial- I’ve now been practicing this and it’s made such an improvement. It’s so much more simpler to use.

Just watched this video and can’t wait to try this out. I’ve only been golfing for about 4 months and I think this is the best video I’ve come across that explains distance and foot placement. Thanks for the advice!!

Best driver lesson ever...finally I get the bkswng/dnswng hip rotation!

I’m trying this, this week gotta work on my driver you fixed my wedge play

I really dig "running the screw" swing tip. Thanks

Thank you, I loved this information. I know there are several changes I am going to make. Your instruction is very concise and easy to understand.

This worked really well for me. Great easy swing thoughts / feels

You are the best golf instructor I came across with. Simple and informative. You made my golf game better. Thank you.

This lesson was amazing for me it turned my consistency with my driver completely around.

Love the enthusiasm. I've never heard of the "turn the screw" portion (most of the hands stuff is usually strengthening grip, placement, etc.) but it makes all the sense in the world. Thanks for the tutorial!

I love the tips - subtle but perfect..

A lot of the videos I watch are very different then what I work on with my swing coach, but not this one. I tend to get too far inside on my drives, so this is a great video for me.

I like that your using visuals to show us the correct swing path. I'm typing this at 12:30 am so I will watch it again tomorrow when I can get outback on my astro turf again and put it app together. You got a little close to make it a porno with the head and distance and oh lord we just never know where you might lead us 🤪🤣🙃 But your a funny dude and not so serious like most golf teachers I'm sure are. But there being paid by us so I suppose they need to be more business like. I prefer your method. much easier going and laid back and using visuals to make your point and it gives us things to remember when we go out to try them out. Appreciate you man.

Stance width was KEY tip for me. Thanks!

Thanks dude. Just started following you about a month ago. Simple thoughts to really make a difficult game a little easier. Much appreciated!

I loved this video, but when I tried to "turn the screw", I found it difficult to hit the ball well. I could use more help on this.EDIT: A week later, I'm much more able to do this successfully, and it's feeling much better and more natural. Now, I'm noticing on my videos of myself that I'm hardly rotating my waist on the backswing, and I'm also getting very suddenly upright at the end of my swing. I'm trying to add in a lowering of the club angle on the downswing, which you didn't cover in this lesson, and maybe it's just too many swing thoughts making me awkward. I would love to hear about this lowering of the angle in combination with the other main ideas in this video. I definitely think taking videos of yourself is a great training aid.

I wish I would have seen this tutorial a long time ago, been having issues with slicing, this fixed it, thank you

3 years later and still a good one to watch. Thanks

Tried it yesterday and it worked. Thank you!

Definitely gonna try the "loosening the screw". I have an attack angle of +3 degrees. And a path in to out. I just leave the driver face open to path on average 5-10 degrees. So ball flight is a straight block to the right. Thanks for the tips! One of my favorite channels!

I'm a senior golfer dealing with decreased flexibility and club speed so I really appreciate all of your videos directed at improving the game of us older players. When it comes to my driver, I tend to drive my right elbow into my right side/hip during my downswing (which I think you suggest) but I think it causes me to lock up so I have a really hard time getting the club face closed at impact. I've tried the "turning the screw" method you described and recommended about 5 months ago but I jammed my right thumb so severely doing that I couldn't grip anything with it very well for about 4 months. It's now been 5 months and my grip is better but I still can't apply enough pressure to open a new jar of Pickles. Any suggestions about how to stop driving my elbow down and inside OR how to get my hands to turn over and close the club face in spite of it?

You are the best teacher out here!!

Excellent video. Helps big time. Very concise explanation.

just played my whole round with 3 wood of the tee, jus watched your video ,went outside and loaded one up and smashed it down the back yard great tips mate chers

Great quick tip for setup ! One thing I would like to get more in depth is timing to get the club in the "Slot" zone, when you "Turn that screw altogether" timing at this moment is the key

My new favourite you tube teacher!

terrific driver vid, better than virtually any i have ever seen on YT, cheers

Mr short game, this is a fantastic video, I'm going to take it out on the range, and use it procedure, I'll let u know how it works, I'm a natural fader of the golf ball, and if my swing plane is off I slice to the right. I will let u know how ur instructions worked for me. Thank you, Andy

I watch a lot of golf videos.. a lot! But now I only watch yours! Good stuff and thank you so much!

Great content man! Driver is the club that can give me a low to mid 80 round or high 90s. This was such a great and different way to get the CONSISTENT feels off the tee and utilize the club. Thanks for putting out your great content! Cheers!

Just found your channel.... hooked already. Keeping it simple 👍

This brought clarity to my driver issues - im certain this will help me

best ever driver lesson. thank you so much

Great Instruction easy to follow best on KZfaq

Hitting straight and long drives with such an ease now! You can really feel the lasso effect by turning the screw!
